Jayma Mays 'excited for Stamos on Glee'

Jayma Mays has confessed that she is extremely excited about the announcement that John Stamos is to appear on Glee.

The actor was recently announced to play the role of a love interest for Mays's character Emma Pillsbury in the new season of the Fox show.

"I was working in New York and I got a text from a friend of mine and it said, 'Uncle Jesse?'" she told Parade.

"I had no context to know what that text meant, so I was like, 'What does this mean?' and she said I heard he was your new love interest, so I hopped online and quickly looked up what was going on and I was very, very excited."

She added: "I am living my childhood fantasy."

Stamos will make his debut appearance as dentist Dr Carl Howell on September 28.
